Cooking Class | Stretch & Fold: Sourdough at Home

Join us for a beginner sourdough class where we will explore the entire process of making sourdough bread. In this hands-on class, we learn how to care for the starter, mix dough, do a set of stretch and folds (which helps develop the dough’s gluten structure and encourages even fermentation), and sample fresh bread. All experience levels are welcome — we hope to dispel some of the apprehension around sourdough and help you feel more comfortable baking fresh, homemade bread. This class is formatted as an open forum and ongoing conversation and will be led by local far mer and experienced sourdough baker Olivia Kingery of Pileated Farms in Chatham. You’ll leave with prepared dough to bake a loaf at home, so please bring a container to transport it.
